Ruston High School’s baseball team will be back in action tonight when Natchitoches Central comes to the Bearcats’ diamond for a 5 p.m. District 2-5A game.

Head Coach Toby White will guide RHS into its seventh league contest with the rescheduled contest that was originally set to be held on Thursday, but was wiped out by rain showers.
Ruston is 21-5 overall and 5-1 in the district, where it recently won two-of-three games from rival West Monroe High. The Bearcats are No. 8 in the Class 5A Louisiana High School Athletic Association power rankings.

I’ve done a bit of snooping around the Louisiana High School Athletic Association records and quite frankly, I’m a tad disappointed. Louisiana athletic teams have picked a wide array of mascots to represent their teams, but there is one that is sorely missing.

Louisiana Tech only had one shot on goal in the first period, but that was all they needed as it found the back of the net off the foot of forward Rosie Lethbridge to defeat Central Arkansas 1-0 in Conway, Ark.

The lone goal of the day in minute No. 17 was Lethbridge’s second of the year and came on a lead pass first from Mo Rockwell, then to Laura LeFevour who broke down right and passed across the goal for Rosie to tap it into an open net.
